Misconduct Policy
Mill Bowling Club has adopted Bowls England's Misconduct Regulation 9 (R9) to manage any Misconduct or Disciplinary issues.
This Regulation provides a framework for how Clubs, County Associations and Bowls England handle written complaints of misconduct. Each complaint is assessed by the designated Complaint Assessor to determine its validity and severity, categorised as minor, moderate, or serious. This classification determines the route to resolution: minor misconduct is addressed informally, moderate misconduct through mediation, and serious misconduct via a formal hearing. Appeals are escalated to the next organisational level. This Regulation promotes fairness, confidentiality and proportionality, with defined responsibilities for each body involved.
Some of the key elements of this regulation are available below. The full R9 regulation framework and supporting resources are published on the Bowls England website https://www.bowlsengland.com/ under "Our Policies and Regulations".
A complaint of misconduct should be made using the R9 Complaint Form below. This should be submitted to the Complaint Assessor.
The Complaint Assessor for Mill Bowling Club is the Club Chair.
